MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

*In The Network Nation: Human Communication via Computer, co-authored with Murray Turoff in 1978, described the technical and social possibilities for what has become the Internet and the World Wide Web; this book received an award from the Association of American Publishers for the Best Technical- Scientific Publication

*With Murray Turoff, conceived of the possibility of structures and processes to support group decision making and group collaboration within a computer-mediated communication environment, helped to design and conduct some of the first experiments on them (“Computer Support for Group vs. Individual Decisions,” 1982); these are generally now referred to as “Group Decision Support Systems” and “Computer-Supported Cooperative Work” (CSCW”)

*Conducted one of the earliest and pioneering longitudinal studies of “Online Communities” ( 1984)

*Conceived the possibility of an online “virtual classroom” environment; designed, implemented,  and studied the first version of such a system in 1986-88 and trademarked the name; these are now generally referred to as “Asynchronous Learning Networks” and are being used by hundreds of educational organizations.
